About Corsica
Despite being our closest Mediterranean island, Corsica remains a mystery to most Brits; it has a lot to offer and many different layers to discover. Described by the French writer Balzac as “A French island basking in the Italian sun” there are both French and Italian influences plus a uniquely Corsican flavour.
For many of our customers the property will be the deciding factor, but for others a spectacular beach, local festival or cultural sight will determine where on the island you stay. Within our “About Corsica” pages you should find regional information to help make an informed choice about your ideal holiday but if you need any further advice our reservations team will be happy to help.
